Amazing though this crane is, I don't think it could pick up my eyes and put them back in my head.

Legos sure have come a long way since I was a kid. That crane is a thing of beauty.

Great post. I sent this to some engineer colleagues, just to enjoy the sight of them drooling and turning green with envy when they read their e-mail in the morning.

The descriptions of each component are mind-blowing in their specificity. Unbelievably great.

Another incredible builder I found (via his YouTube videos) is foxbox. Not much info on how the devices work, but still amazing.
